When is this model due to come out? I might be getting a brand new car when my NCB comes through so I'm wondering whether to wait for that, or just get the new Punto which is the same car underneath anyway....

I would love the 1.6 t they plan on bringing out, but I want a new car so it is cheaper to run.
I would be looking at a small CDT engined car. The 1.3 Punto seems a pretty decent choice. However, I gues this is the same engine as in the newer C's right? They would start to drop in price when the D comes out?

1.3 Punto will be the VX 1.3 CDTI lump.
cracking engine that.
remember that the punto will have 3 years warranty and stuff if you get it new

tbh if the punto was lowered with a nice set of wheels it could be gorgeous
can't believe I said that

Though the diesels are group 5 insurance. The Punto is 4... They also cost more...

The 1.9Multijet's probably good as well - Fiat have done a good job on that engine so I've heard..

matty you are quite small minded when it comes to any other brand apart from VX

so is it only french and italian cars you have a major gripe with?
you seem to be a brand snob yet you drive a corsa

I like the shape of the new punto, it is nice but I didn't hear lots of good comments about previous punto models from my friends. Maybe the new model is a different story. I'd feel more confident if I'd buy a corsa. Don't know maybe it is a matter of opinions.

you are missing out on some good cars then with an attitude like that
dont just take peoples word for things drive the cars yourself then create an opinion
